Working with Cailyn at Brin's Posy was wonderful. She was super energetic and excited to work with us, and very transparent and flexible when it came to figuring out the pricing and flowers. Even at our first consultation Cailyn did a great job... putting her work into laymen's terms, and worked to understand the kind of "feel" we wanted to have with our wedding - through not only asking about color scheme but also texture, my preferences for certain flowers, etc. Not only that, but Cailyn was fun to work with! I had brought her some images of what I wanted, and we all had a really great time brainstorming (when we left my sister/maid of honor could not stop raving about how "cool" and "fun" Cailyn was). She did a wonderful job giving us options for each arrangement we talked about, and explained how cost would vary with each. We were on a tight-ish budget, and were able to work with Cailyn to get to a price point we felt comfortable with but also grew her business.
Specifically we originally wanted to have floral center pieces on each table at our reception - but this would cost too much for us. We were thinking about halving the number of floral center pieces, and substituting votives - though this didn't seem ideal. Cailyn then suggested a bucket of greenery would be at very low cost and could spruce up any alternative arrangement to the floral ones. This was perfect and really helped us get to our price point. Similarly - we wanted a garland over a cross that was at our ceremony site, and Cailyn explained that she could construct it so that it also could lay over a mantle piece at our reception site. She specifically crafted it so that it would be easy for us to move between the two events.
If that was not enough - Cailyn was also very generous with her resources. At every turn she thought through finishing touches she could add to make our day special. A week or so before the wedding, Cailyn called us to explain that she had extra greenery at the shop by happenstance, and asked if we wanted to incorporate it into my bridesmaids bouquets. It was a really nice touch that we really appreciated.
When it came time to pick up the flowers - there was no hassle. Even though our venue was about 40 mins away - Cailyn made it work. The flowers were all ready and packaged when we had agreed and were picked up by a relative and delivered.
And - of course the flowers turned out beautifully and lasted for the entire event. To be clear - this was a large undertaking, as we had 7 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, 5 junior bridesmaids, 3 flower girls, and 180 guests seated at 24 tables.
We were very happy with her service and would highly recommend her to anyone!
